Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) Mayor Annisul Huq, who had long been undergoing treatment at a London hospital for neurological problem, passed away there on Thursday. He was 65.
Doctors declared him dead at about 10:23pm (Bangladesh time) after removing the life support, said his personal assistant Mizanur Rahman.
